Adding to the collection of Mercedes-Benz’s premium SUVs are the GLE 450 4Matic Coupé, Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4Matic+ Coupé and the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 4Matic.

Featuring the new 4Matic technology, the GLE Coupé combines the unrivalled power of an SUV with the agility and elegance of a coupé, equipped with the latest technology to ensure an optimal driving experience.

The GLS, the S-Class of the SUVs, is Mercedes-Benz’s largest and most luxurious SUV offering more space, comfort and exclusivity, boasting unparalleled levels of luxury combined with best-in-class safety and world-class innovation.

Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4Matic Coupé AMG Line and the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4Matic Coupé address all the requirements of customers in the premium-SUV segment. Its striking design with an aggressive appearance combines the athletic characteristics of an SUV with the sporty nature of a coupé resulting in a vehicle that is intense, beautiful and full of passion.

The GLE Coupé not only skilfully embodies the principles of Mercedes-Benz design but also focuses on the essential features of two entirely different automobile genes.

The GLE 450 Coupé, powered by the 3.0-litre 6-cylinder in-line turbo engine, produces 270kW (367hp) and a maximum torque of 500Nm which enables acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 5.7 seconds. The Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupé, meanwhile, is powered by the 6-cylinder in-line turbo engine, which generates 320kW (435hp) and delivers a maximum torque of 520Nm, allowing it to reach 0-100 km/h in 5.3 seconds.

Both models feature the Airmatic air suspension system, an adaptive adjustable damping feature which uses highly complex sensor systems and algorithms to adapt the damping characteristics of the road condition and driving situation in real time, providing maximum ride comfort for any situation.

The interior of the new GLE Coupés shares numerous common features with the other models in the new premium-SUV family with a clear emphasis on the sporty aspect. The modern cockpit has dual 12.3-inch displays and strikingly shaped instrument panel, horizontally divided by a trim element tier, which seamlessly flows into the door trim. The latest generation of the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system with intuitive operating structure, brilliant graphics with a high visual quality complement the GLE Coupé.

Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 4MATIC AMG Line

Offering more space, more comfort and more luxury, the Mercedes-Benz GLS is powered by the 3.0-litre 6-cylinder in-line engine electrified with a 48-volt technology, producing 270kW (367hp) and a maximum torque of 500Nm. The power is transmitted by the 9G-Tronic 9-speed automatic transmission that takes efficiency, comfort and dynamics to a whole new level with even swifter and smoother gearshifts.

On the exterior, the GLS 450 is donned with the upright radiator grille, chrome-plated underguard in the front apron with the bone-shaped air inlet grille and two powerdomes on the bonnet. It also has a powerful shoulder muscle extending from the rear doors to the tail lights which are based on LED technology and has a three-dimensional look. Other standout features include a slender, continuous chrome trim strip of a reflector and a chrome-plated underguard.

Inside, the GLS features leather appointments and a dashboard support that flows into the door panels, and the integral trim element likewise extends to meet the doors. It also comes with electrically adjustable seats with the Easy-Entry system on the third row which enables the seats in the second row to move and fold forward, providing a larger legroom for those sitting in the third row.

The MBUX Rear Seat Entertainment System is available for this seven-seater; each screen displays the content selected by the individual user, allowing each passenger to enjoy movies, music or use the integrated web browser on the two wireless headsets that come with the vehicle.

The new models are equipped with Mercedes me connect (Mmc), the newest generation of connectivity that helps Mercedes-Benz owners stay connected and in sync with their vehicles. The connected car service is made to make the lives of Mercedes-Benz owners easier and at ease, whether it is unlocking their car, starting the engine remotely, getting customer support or simply checking their fuel level.

The Mmc includes the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system (E-call), whereby a dedicated button on the roof panel of the cabin enables drivers to make one-touch emergency calls to the dedicated emergency response centre. Other features of the Mmc include remote vehicle diagnostics, pre-entry climate control, predictive navigation and parked vehicle locator.
